AB  - In  everyday  language  “sex”  and  “gender”  are  used  interchangeably;  however,  in  the  context  of  transgender  people,  the  meanings  differ.  Gender  expression  describes  the  outward  manner  in  which  an  individual  expresses  or  displays  gender,  including  choices  in  clothing  and  hairstyle,  speech,  and  mannerisms.  Gender  identity  and  gender  expression  may  differ;  for  example,  a  woman  (transgender  or  non-transgender)  may  have  an  androgynous  appearance,  or  a  man  (transgender  or  non-transgender)  may  have  a  feminine  form  of  self-expression.  Transgender  people  may  not  feel  comfortable,  or  be  unable  to,  outwardly  express  their  internal  felt  sense  of  gender  due  to  societal,  work,  or  family  pressures.  Transgender  people  who  have  a  well  documented  and  persistent  gender  identity  that  differs  from  their  sex  assigned  at  birth  and  are  experiencing  distress  as  a  result  of  this  mismatch,  meet  the  diagnostic  criteria  for  gender  dysphoria  as  described  in  the  Diagnostic  and  Statistical  Manual  of  Mental  Disorders,  5th  edition  (DSM-5).
